>>Just an FYI -- I wrote a class to export to XLSX format that has many more capabilities such as multi-sheets, cell merging, cell formatting to include font, border, fills, colors -- see the documentation and release notes. The class is on VFPx -- see link:

>>There are specific methods for exporting a table or grid directly to a XLSX that is fast. See the documentation and examples included. I am currently working on enhancements to define the cell formatting when exporting defined in the grid's properties. I have also added features to add images. The updated class should be available in a couple of weeks; most work is done and now testing and fixing issues.

The class I wrote does not use any external drivers or automation -- it is all native VFP code that reads the XML files that are internal to the XLSX file. The class also has an import feature -- I tested your table example and it correctly imports the values. See the test program included.
